Booking Policies & Terms
To ensure we can provide the highest standard of boutique care for every pet, Pets & Places operates under the following business policies. By securing a booking with us, you agree to these terms.
Deposits & Securing Your Date
-
Booking Deposit: A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your requested dates or wedding chaperone services. No booking is fully confirmed until this deposit is received.
-
30+ Days Notice: If you cancel or amend your booking with 30 days or more notice before the scheduled start date, your deposit is fully refundable or completely transferable to a future booking.
-
Less than 30 Days Notice: Deposits are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable if changes or cancellations are made with less than 30 days' notice.
Cancellation Fees
Cancellations made on short notice directly impact our team’s availability. In the event that you must cancel all or part of your booking, the following sliding-scale charges will apply based on the amount of notice given before the start of the service:
-
30 Days or More: No Charge (Deposit refunded or transferred)
-
15 – 29 Days: 50% of the total booking balance due
-
Less than 15 Days: 100% of the total booking balance due
Extended Care & Check-Out Rates
Our overnight pet sitting and "Honeymoon Suite" rates are calculated on a 24-hour period from the time of our arrival or your pet's drop-off.
To ensure our sitters are fairly compensated for their time and can transition smoothly to their next client, the following extended care rates apply on your final day if you require a later check-out:
-
Up to 2 Hours Late: Complimentary grace period (No charge).
-
2 to 4 Hours Late: 50% of our standard nightly rate.
-
4+ Hours Late: 100% of our standard nightly rate.
Please let us know your exact logistics as early as possible so we can schedule our sitters perfectly.
Holiday Surcharges & Key Retainers
-
Peak Holiday Rates: Bookings landing on UK Bank Holidays, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve, or New Year’s Day will incur an surcharge per day to support our dedicated team.
-
Key Retention: If we hold physical keys to your property, they are securely stored without address identifiers.
